People get emotional about color. It is amazing how color can evoke feelings. It can make you feel calm, or happy, or even hungry. What are the color trends for this year? Here are a few:
It Is Easy Being Green
Green evokes feelings of happiness and makes us think of nature.

In a kitchen:
Or even in a dining room:

Go Bold and Go Home
Bold colors are making a statement this year.
Deep, saturated colors are being used all over the house. Pinks, blues, greens, corals, and yellows - bright and bold work in decor.
What works well with these bold colors is contrast. Contrast a bold color with a neutral, such as coral with gray:
White and orange:
Blues with white and wood:
Even purple with neutrals for an cool and calming look, like in this bathroom:
